Immigrants in Greece Occupy University, Start Hunger Strike
By Anthee Carassava - AOL NewsATHENS, Greece -- More than 200 immigrants occupying a state university in Athens began a hunger strike today, ratcheting up pressure on the government to legalize them as Greece grapples with a massive tide of refugees. The immigrants, all young men and mainly from Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia, arrived in Athens from the island of Crete late Monday, storming the capital's law school and settling in with blankets and sleeping bags.

Rhode Island Town Has to Police Illegal Stop Signs
By Lisa Flam - AOL News
(Nov. 30) -- You can get a ticket for not obeying the big red octagon, but if you're driving in Cranston, R.I., there's a chance the stop sign itself is breaking the law.

It seems someone has talked to her:Speaking outside her home in Flaherty Way, South Boston, on Tuesday, Ms Onyango, 56, confirmed she was the "Auntie Zeituni" in Mr Obama's memoir.

Hillary to Spitzer: You're Hurting Me
By Dave - Politics DailyIs anyone really shocked at the speculation out tonight that it was Hillary Clinton that told Eliot Spitzer to kill his plan for drivers licenses for illegal aliens? What he was saying then was: "I am not willing to fight to the bitter end on something that will not ultimately be implemented, and we also have an enormous agenda on other issues of great importance to New York State that was being stymied by the constant and almost singular focus on this issue," he told the paper. ...
